Framing and Selling a Favorite Sketch, “Gentle Highlights”

I usually love big mats because they isolate the art, but on small pieces mats are naturally smaller. A 1” mat is really small though, almost too small. My original choice of mat and frame for this piece was a larger, double mat pulling the dark gray and tan from the sketch with a matte […]

I’m so excited to offer an image that is so dear to me—one of my cats on my studio windowsill. All the years I’ve been here I’ve loved my time in my studio, which was also once my foster room. I often remark how my cats enjoy spending time with me in my studio because […]

This photo has long been one of my favorites, taken in my studio where the lighting was good and Giuseppe was getting drowsy supervising me, hence the bedroom eyes. Use for storage for small items, photos or special keepsakes, or use as gift boxes. I choose a variety of papier mâché boxes from the craft […]

As an artist I turn to my surroundings for creative output, and what better to do with a family of five black cats during the festive Halloween season? I posted many of these photos […]

Get Ready for Meow-lo-ween!

Mimi is very proud of how her children have found a career as artist models. This sketch from Halloween night in 2012 as I handed out my candy and all the knocking got to be a bit much for these four was destined to be a Halloween design. I designed the card first and the […]

October Featured Artwork and Desktop Calendar: “Bella Birdwatching”

So Bella is an avid birdwatcher. She spends long hours by the big north window watching the birds at the feeder. I spend long hours studying her profile while she does so. I decided to finally sketch her and thought of the toned paper with white and black charcoal, and I also added a bit […]

Warm Autumn Colors for “Awakening”

Awakening with warm and bright hand coloring.

When I created this 16″ round linoleum block print in 2004, I’d intended for it to be versatile. Beginning with my Tortie Girls block prints a few years previous I’d worked out the mechanics of printing on rice paper that could be hand-tinted to add color in various media, from dustings of pastel to watercolors […]
